Types of Foundations / Footings in Building Construction

In this video we will be learning about various kinds of footings used in a building construction. Foundations are broadly divided in two categories. First is Shallow Foundations and second is Deep Foundations. Under shallow foundations we will see isolated footings, sloped footings, step footing, combined footings, trapezoidal footings, strap footings, eccentric footings, strip footings, wall footings, raft footings and mat footings. Under deep foundations we will see pile foundations and Raft with piles.
Foundations are a part of Sub structure which are below ground level and transfer all kinds of loads on the structure, to the ground. Various factors play a role in selecting the suitable type of Foundation for the structure such as, type of structure, condition of the soil at the location of construction, other surrounding structures, water table below, property limits and many more depending on site conditions.
Once the foundations are laid for a structure, it is very difficult or impossible to repair or inspect it for structural damages. Hence it is very important to select and design appropriate foundations.

How long does such concrete foundations last? How can the be made more durable? How were the foundations done in ancient structures? They are still standing today. Can those techniques be used in mordern construction to get more durable buildings?

Milwaukee tools are the best; I’m about to get into construction and my friend told me they will most likely have me carrying and tying rebar any another things I should know while getting into this line of work?
